Thanksgiving was just three days ago, so many of us are still enjoying that holiday spirit. And Cardi B is no different!
Today the 28-year-old tweeted that no fewer than 12 kids and 25 adults were over to celebrate Turkey Day. And, I quote, "It was lit."
This wasn't Cardi's only recent event that totally disregarded CDC guidelines. Last month, she earned major backlash for her crowded 28th birthday party where people weren't socially distancing or wearing masks.

If you're anything like me, you probably read that and thought, Wow. 37 people over seems A BIT EXCESSIVE during a FREAKING PANDEMIC. And I wasn't alone in that conclusion:

Cardi saw the immediate backlash and quickly stated that she "spent soo much money getting [everyone] tested":
According to the CDC, "If you test negative, you probably were not infected at the time your sample was collected. The test result only means that you did not have COVID-19 at the time of testing. Continue to take steps to protect yourself."

Just for the record: I still think having 37 people over to your house (even with the testing) is a bad idea during a pandemic! And so does the CDC!
Testing isn't 100% accurate, and public health officials say you shouldn't use it as an excuse to hang out. In fact, the Los Angeles Times stated, "If a person is tested shortly after becoming infected but before the virus has reproduced enough copies of itself, a test could fail to detect the virus and produce a false negative result."
Once Cardi clarified, some people were quick to support the rapper:

While others maintained this was not a good look:
